Homeseer and Media Player plugin




Downloaded the Windows Media Player plugin from Homeseer last night and
have now got it working a treat. I have a volume control and speakers in
the bathroom and will soon have them in the kitchen. I generally had my
Psion Wavefinder playing the radio from my main PC to the household
speaker sytem. It works fine except if you want to change to play some
MP3s or change the radio station. I now have Homseer driving all the
music :-)

The WinDab software allows the radio to stream across the network so I
have a URL source for each radio station.
I have set a house code "F" for Media Player triggers.
F1 ON = "MediaPlayer->
PlayURL->http://192.168.1.100:1560/pls/radio5live.pls"
F2 ON = "MediaPlayer-> PlayPlaylist->relaxingbathmusic.pls"
I use one of those HR10 (?) buttons in the bathroom to change the music
source :-) SWMBO thought it was great and demanded to setup a playlist
(her first ever!!) called "getting ready to go out!". I really must link
this in with my 'Pub' Macro :-)

I now have gone from a single-source/single zone to a
multi-source/single zone setup.
